“…In a study by Chatterjee and colleagues, 37 variation of target volume definition when using CT versus PET/CT was studied in 20 oropharyngeal cancer patients in the treatment position. The target volumes were defined on contrastenhanced CT scans by radiation oncologists who were blinded to the PET/CT scans.…”

“…Twelve patients had modifications of the radiotherapy planning following review of their PET-CT. In another study of 20 patients with oropharyngeal cancers, the incorporation of PET-CT into radiotherapy planning prevented marginal miss in two patients (6). The ability of PET-CT for better tumor delineation compared to CT for radiotherapy planning was also corroborated in other studies (7, 8).…”

“…2‐deoxy‐2‐( 18 F)fluoro‐D‐glucose positron emitting tomography ( 18 F‐FDG‐PET) might be the ideal candidate for the identification of the tumour‐host ecosystem. Encouraging data support the use of 18 F‐FDG‐PET for radiotherapy target definition . The excellent sensitivity and specificity rates of 18 F‐FDG‐PET for the diagnosis of bone metastases suggest that this modality is well suited for the delineation of bone metastases .…”

“…Encouraging data support the use of 18 F-FDG-PET for radiotherapy target definition. [3][4][5] The excellent sensitivity and specificity rates of 18 F-FDG-PET for the diagnosis of bone metastases suggest that this modality is well suited for the delineation of bone metastases. 6,7 However, the impact of the implementation of 18 F-FDG-PET on the delineation of the radiotherapy target has never been assessed.…”
